Author:Rademeyer, Rebecca A; Glazer, Jean PatriciaDate:2006The algorithm for the 2006 Operational Management Procedure (OMP) to provide TAC recommendations for the South African Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis resources is empirical, increasing or decreasing the TAC in relation to the magnitude ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2008A method to separate the South Coast rock lobster annual catches by Area for the areadisaggregated assessments was described in WG/04/08/SCRL08. Concern was raised about an assumption made with respect to the calculation of those catches, ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2011A Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) has been applied to the Area 8 bakkie CPUE data. The intention was to include data from Areas 10, 11 and East of Hangklip (Areas 12-14) in the analyses and to include subarea as a factor in the model, ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2011Two papers by Glazer and Butterworth (2011a, 2011b) were recently submitted to the West Coast Rock Lobster Scientific Working Group meeting for consideration. The first of those included sub-area as an explanatory variable in a Generalized ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean PatriciaDate:1999The two species of Cape hake, Merluccius capensis (shallow-water hake) and M paradoxus (deepwater hake), fomi the mainstay of the bottom trawl industry off South Africa and constitute the country's most valuable fishery. It is therefore ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2012A Bayesian assessment of the squid resource was last performed in 2010. This paper presents results from an updated Bayesian assessment given that additional years’ data are now available.Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2006Long-term rights were recently allocated to 109 companies with a total of 123 vessels in the squid jig fishery. An exercise was conducted to compare information provided in the LTRAMP application forms with that which is captured on the ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2006It is proposed that effort in the jig fishery be curbed, and that the reduction in effort be effected by restricting each vessel to a vessel-dependent number of days at sea each year. The vessel-dependent numbers may be based upon the relative ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2006The South African jig squid fishery is a constant effort fishery, with the current unit of effort being one of man-hours. The target effort level is 3030 thousand man-hours based on recent assessment results, and the mechanism of effort control ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug S; Leslie, R WDate:2008This paper takes a closer look at CPUE analyses, particularly with a view towards determining the reason for the sharp decline in the standardized CPUE index from 2006 to 2007 for M. capensis. Results from including and excluding night-time ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2013The squid stock assessment model has recently been updated to be based upon the Baranov catch equations rather than the Pope catch equations used in past analyses as advised by the Panel from the International Stock Assessment Meeting held ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2008At the squid working group meeting held on 4 July 2008, the following further information was requested to inform the data cleaning process: • Distribution of fishing days for each of the 12 vessels identified by Industry in MCM/2008/July/SWG-SQ/01 ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2008Area-disaggregated assessments for South Coast rock lobster are currently being developed. An important input to these assessments is the catch per unit effort (CPUE) data. A Generalized Linear Model (GLM) has been applied to the data to ...Read more
Author:Glazer, Jean Patricia; Butterworth, Doug SDate:2011Data for the West Coast rock lobster Areas are available at a sub-area level from 1992. The data are fairly patchy at a sub-area level for most areas other than Area 8 for trapboats and Area 1 for bakkies. This paper presents preliminary ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan J; Butterworth, Doug S; Glazer, Jean PatriciaDate:2010This document first gives the reasons why the OMP agreed for West Coast rock lobster in 2007 (OMP-2007) was “re-cast” the following year, listing the modifications then introduced. It then provides details of the three main components of ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan J; Butterworth, Doug S; Glazer, Jean PatriciaDate:2008OMP 2008 consists of an algorithm that calculates the TAC for the resource using CPUE data collected from each of three areas (New Areas 1, 2 and 3 – see Fig. 1), Note that the TAC for season y+1 will be based upon the CPUE series that ends ...Read more
Author:Johnston, Susan J; Butterworth, Doug S; Glazer, Jean Patricia; Brandão, AnabelaDate:2012This document provides full specifications of OMP 2011 to be used to set allocations for various sectors and super-areas for the 2011+ seasons for the West Coast rock lobster fishery. This OMP is implemented slightly differently for the first ...Read more
Author:Butterworth, Doug S; Glazer, Jean PatriciaDate:2014Currently the Agulhas sole resource is managed by a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) which, for 2014, was set at 872 tons.
